Reflexive Pronouns Q 81–82
81
“I hope you will enjoy ________ at the reunion party this weekend.”Reflexive Pronouns
[Choose the correct reflexive pronoun]A oneself
B myself
C yourself
D himself
✅ Correct Answer: C
Reflexive pronouns must match the subject of the sentence. Subject ‘you’ → reflexive pronoun ‘yourself’.
The subject is ‘you’ so the reflexive pronoun must be ‘yourself’. Reflexive pronoun chart: I→myself, you→yourself, he→himself, she→herself, it→itself, we→ourselves, they→themselves. ‘Oneself’ is used only in general/formal statements, not when the subject is clearly ‘you’.
82
“The children brushed ________ teeth before going to bed.” (they)Reflexive Pronouns
[Choose the correct pronoun]A themselves
B their
C theirs
D them
✅ Correct Answer: B
When a pronoun comes before a noun (teeth), use a possessive determiner — not a reflexive pronoun.
“Brushed ________ teeth” — the blank is followed by a noun ‘teeth’, so we need a possessive determiner ‘their’ (not a reflexive). Compare: “They brushed their teeth” (possessive determiner + noun) vs “They hurt themselves” (reflexive pronoun — no noun after it).
Regular & Irregular Verbs Q 83–84
83
Which of the following is a REGULAR verb?Regular Verbs
[Choose the correct option]A write
B bring
C play
D think
✅ Correct Answer: C
Regular verbs form their past tense and past participle by adding ‘-ed’ or ‘-d’. Irregular verbs change their form unpredictably.
‘Play’ is regular: play → played → played. ‘Write’ is irregular: write → wrote → written. ‘Bring’ is irregular: bring → brought → brought. ‘Think’ is irregular: think → thought → thought. If a verb simply adds ‘-ed’ for past tense, it is regular.
84
What is the correct past participle of the irregular verb ‘forget’?Irregular Verbs
[Choose the correct option]A forgetted
B forgot
C forgetten
D forgotten
✅ Correct Answer: D
Three forms of ‘forget’: forget (base) → forgot (simple past) → forgotten (past participle).
‘Forgotten’ is the past participle used with ‘have/has/had’. Example: “I have forgotten his name.” ‘Forgot’ is simple past: “I forgot his name.” ‘Forgetted’ and ‘forgetten’ are not English words — never used. Similarly: speak→spoke→spoken; write→wrote→written; break→broke→broken.
Abstract, Material & Countable Nouns Q 85–86
85
Which of the following is an ABSTRACT noun?Abstract Nouns
[Choose the correct option]A Table
B Gold
C Bravery
D Army
✅ Correct Answer: C
Abstract nouns name ideas, qualities or states that cannot be seen or touched: bravery, freedom, honesty, love, happiness, knowledge.
‘Bravery’ is an abstract noun — it names a quality that cannot be seen or touched physically. ‘Table’ = concrete noun (can be seen/touched); ‘Gold’ = material noun (a substance/material); ‘Army’ = collective noun (a group of people). Abstract nouns are often formed by adding suffixes: brave→bravery; free→freedom; honest→honesty.
86
Which of the following nouns is UNCOUNTABLE?Countable/Uncountable
[Choose the correct option]A Chair
B Knife
C Traffic
D Book
✅ Correct Answer: C
Uncountable nouns cannot be counted individually and have no plural form. They take singular verbs and cannot be used with ‘a/an’.
‘Traffic’ is uncountable — we cannot say “one traffic, two traffics.” It always takes a singular verb: “The traffic is heavy.” Other uncountable nouns from the textbook: furniture, behaviour, cutlery, freedom, peace, information, advice, news. ‘Chair’, ‘knife’ and ‘book’ are all countable — they have plurals: chairs, knives, books.
Second Conditional Q 87–88
87
“If I ________ a millionaire, I would build a hospital.” Choose the correct verb form:Second Conditional
[Choose the correct option]A am
B was
C were
D will be
✅ Correct Answer: C
Second conditional (unreal present/future): If + past simple → would + base verb. With verb ‘be’, always use ‘were’ for all persons in the if-clause (formal/correct English).
“If I were a millionaire” — in second conditional, ‘were’ is used for all subjects (I/he/she/it/we/they) in the if-clause, even though we normally say “I was”. This is called the subjunctive mood. “If I was” is used in informal speech but “If I were” is the grammatically correct form in standard/formal English.
88
“Unless you study hard, you ________ fail the exam.” Choose the correct verb form:Unless — Conditional
[Choose the correct option]A would
B will
C would have
D had
✅ Correct Answer: B
‘Unless’ = ‘if not’. It introduces a real condition (first conditional): Unless + simple present → will + base verb.
“Unless you study hard” = “If you do not study hard” — this is a real/possible condition about the future, so first conditional applies: will + base verb. “You will fail” is correct. ‘Would’ belongs to second conditional (unreal situations). ‘Unless’ never takes ‘not’ after it — it already contains the negative meaning.
Sentence Structure Q 89–90
89
“The evil that men do lives after them.” What type of sentence is this in terms of structure?Sentence Structure
[Choose the correct option]A Simple
B Compound
C Complex
D Compound-Complex
✅ Correct Answer: C
A complex sentence has one independent clause + at least one dependent/subordinate clause. The dependent clause cannot stand alone.
“The evil that men do lives after them.” — Main clause: “The evil lives after them.” Dependent/adjective clause: “that men do” (modifies ‘evil’, cannot stand alone). One independent + one dependent = Complex sentence. Simple = one clause only. Compound = two independent clauses joined by ‘and/but/or’.
90
“I wanted to go to the movies but the tickets were sold out.” What type of sentence is this?Sentence Structure
[Choose the correct option]A Simple
B Complex
C Compound
D Compound-Complex
✅ Correct Answer: C
A compound sentence has two or more independent clauses joined by coordinating conjunctions: for, and, nor, but, or, yet, so (FANBOYS).
“I wanted to go to the movies” (independent clause 1) + “but” (coordinating conjunction) + “the tickets were sold out” (independent clause 2). Both clauses can stand alone — joined by ‘but’ = Compound sentence. Complex uses subordinating conjunctions (because/although/when/if). Compound-Complex has both types of clauses.
